[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Polymer Clay

[Dixie]

I used to bake my polymer clay pieces in a toaster oven.  I would do this out on the porch to keep the fumes out of the house.

If you open up the windows in your house, it should be fine. But that’s also why you don’t bake it for an awfully long time. You don’t want the smell to get worse if it gets over baked.
